Face Off s7e2 •American Gangsta• 29 July 2014

Last week on Face Off we met 16 new contestants fighting for 14 spots in a 4-hour Foundation Challenge: Make the creature of one's choice, incorporating two different items, with the theme of either life or death. Judges Glenn Hetrick, Ve Neill (for only a few episodes this season,) Neville Page and Lois Burwell sorted them out.

Dina beat out Keaghlan, Sasha & Vince for the win.

Jason & Gwen were in the bottom four,

along with Scott & Gabby,

the latter two being eliminated.

Right after last week's cut from 16 to 14, the competitors move into the Face Off house, and jump into the pool. Not the one with the Koi, right?

Next morning they meet up with host McKenzie Westmore at Universal Studios.

She's usually in Heidi Klum attire (short, tight, shiny) but in a muddy brown, the top and pants almost come off like PJs. In heels. Just because she is gorgeous and model thin, that doesn't mean she can wear just *anything.* Sorry, I was in Project Runway mode.

Ooooh, stop that now!

The challenge: Create an over the top crime boss. Think Warren Beatty's 1990 Dick Tracy. McKenzie explains that the items nearby represent real-life gangsters. They have been paired off (seemingly evenly) as follows:

Drew & Gwen grab the shark, which gives them Michele "The Shark" Sindona.
